Werri Beach cycleway moves closer to reality

After a wait of more than 10 years, a cycleway along Werri Beach, on the New South Wales south coast, is due to be completed before the middle of this year.

Construction of the cycleway cost about $75,000, $60,000 of which is a grant from the Roads and Traffic Authority.

Brian Whittaker from Kiama council says the path is not just for bike enthusiasts.

"[It's for] cyclists, but also the general population, pedestrians, ladies with prams and those with some sort of physical disability who find it difficult to walk on roads and on uneven footpaths, I think it's very important," he said.
